Can Soapnuts help me save water and energy?
[-] Yes! Since theres no soapy residue to rinse away you can use short to no rinse cycle on your washing machine. Also, soapnuts are totally organic and, as stated earlier, a mild insecticide. It is safe, even beneficial to put on your garden. Your washing machine uses about 50 litres (12 gallons!) of water per wash. Collect that waste and your watering problems are over. See above for the section on low sudsing detergents and energy efficient washing machines.
